The new short hop input mechanic is awesome

[Mijah]

As far as I know, this is the first smash game to feature a mechanic allowing players to press jump and the A button simultaneously to do a frame perfect short hop aerial. This has been amazing to put into practice for inkling. Connecting aerials from grabs at low percent has never been easier. I can now just dash directly at someone and rar out a rising bair... Thats nuts

Keep in mind that short hop aerials deal slightly less damage in this game. But yeah, it is an welcomed feature, although I am trying to use the C stick for aerials... The biggest issue though is that short hopping naturally in this game is really not that easy.

Personally I really dislike that it cannot be turned off in controller settings, and I'd want to do so because it causes c-stick shorthop aerials to have air drift. My spacing gets really messed up when I can't do full drift back or no drift shff on shield.
